Washington - The U.S.
Marshals Service warns the public to avoid downloading malicious
software affecting mobile devices; incidents of the digital scam have
been reported nationwide after users visit pornography websites.
Disguised as a message from the U.S. Marshals, the pop-up malware takes
control of the device and populates the screen with a message accusing
the user of accessing child pornography. The user is then instructed to
pay a fee to avoid prosecution and regain access of their device.
